“If we study nature attentively, alike in its great revolutions and in its minutest works, it is impossible not to admit enchantment—giving the word its fullest meaning.

—Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)

“Money is power, and in that government which pays all the public officers of the states will all political power be substantially concentrated.”
